This page is part of the RMU build Gen-1.5 runbook.

Determine Networking Information

You need to know:

  • Your 1G (Management Uplink) IP information (from your network provider):
    • Usable customer address range and Network Mask
    • Gateway for the customer address range

This will be needed for DNS Records.

You need to allocate one of your available IP addresses (External IP) from your usable customer address range to assign to the RMU.

Domain Name

You will need an Internet Domain that you have access to in order to add the required A records. This will be referred to as <domain> in the commands and examples in the rest of the document.

If you have multiple data centers, we recommend prepending your site code (<dc>) to your root domain name. E.g. xx1.domain.com

We will be adding 2 records (with optional dc):

  1. A - teleport.<dc>.<domain> with External IP
  2. A - *.teleport.<dc>.<domain> with External IP

These records will allow you to access your RMU and hosted services remotely and securely.

Data Center Resources

Smart Hands or a technicial who will travel to the data center

Crash Cart with a VGA adapter (for SuperMicro) or HDMI (for NUC)

USB Drive

You will need one high-speed USB drive.

Download Proxmox VE’s latest release ISO installer from https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads (currently v8.1.x) and flash to a USB stick.
